Yes, applying for a CBDC personal loan online saves you a considerable amount of time and effort, given that you can do it from the comfort of your house. The application process is also completely secure.

The maximum sum of money that you will be able to borrow from a bank will vary based on a number of factors. If you are a salaried employee, your monthly EMI should ideally not exceed 30% of your monthly pay. Also, the bank/NBFC will take into account if you have any existing loans for which you pay EMIs. Individuals who are self-employed will be offered a loan amount as per the profits that are earned through their business. The concerned individual’s other financial liabilities will also be taken into account. The maximum loan amount offered will also depend on the lender’s own terms and conditions.

Most banks/financial institutions allow borrowers to choose a CBDC loan tenure between 1 year and 5 years, based on their convenience.

If you have a good credit score, the chances of you being offered the CBDC loan at a low interest rate are quite high. Your credit score indicates your creditworthiness and your repayment ability. If you are looking to apply for a personal loan, it is advisable to maintain a credit score that is over 750. Individuals with a very low credit score may be denied a loan altogether, while those with a moderate credit score may be offered a personal loan, but at a high interest rate.

Certain lenders may allow you to pre-pay the loan amount, based on their respective terms and conditions. It is likely that you will be charged a pre-payment fee. Thus, if you intend to pre-pay your loan during the loan tenure, make sure to check if your lender allows this.
